When I try to incorporate mail with root instance tickets, I am
told

	inc: -ERR Authentication failed: Generic kerberos error (kfailure)

This message has a slight lead over "Can't send request (send_to_kdc)" in
the competition for worst kerberos error message.   POP already has an
error message that fits the problem:

	wrong username specified (jfc.root != jfc)

This message or something like it should be used.
